| Reverse description | A large-scale, high-relief depiction of an ancient Greek Corinthian helmet dominates the reverse field, rendered in fine sculptural detail with characteristic cheek guards, a pronounced brow ridge, and almond-shaped eye openings. The helmet is shown at a three-quarter angle, filling the coin's interior almost entirely, with its surface texture evoking aged bronze or hammered metal. A partial Greek inscription referencing the Argive dedication to Zeus at Olympia appears along the lower rim in archaic Greek lettering. The design draws inspiration from the celebrated Argive helmet housed at Olympia, commemorating ancient Greek martial heritage. The polished proof field provides strong contrast to the frosted relief of the helmet. |
